Will-o'-Wisp

Will-o'-wisps are malicious creatures that appear as torches or lanterns seen floating through swamps.

The will-o'-wisp appears to be nothing more than a hazy ball of light, colored white, blue, green, or yellow, growing as brightly as a flaming torch. As such, it is easy to mistake one for a lantern or torch, especially in the foggy marshes they dwell in. In fact, its faintly glowing body is just a transparent ball of spongy matter around 1 foot (30 centimeters) wide and weighing around 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms). Although they have no vocal organs, will-o'-wisps can vibrate to emit a ghostly sound, with which they can speak.

A will-o'-wisp can extinguish its glow, becoming for all intents and purposes invisible. They typically do this when surprised or frightened.

Will-o'-wisps have total spell resistance, making them immune to most spells, apart from magic missile and maze.

A will-o'-wisp can discharge electricity, inflicting small electric shocks on attackers.
